I am currently watching the Great Performances documentary about the Grand Semi-Finals, which is called The Audition which documents the journey of 11 professional opera singer vying for a spot to have a job performing at The Metropolitan Opera. An insane honor. This is definitely one of my favorite movies...and it's my third time watching it. This documentary was definitely one of my first big exposures to modern day opera, which sparked my interest. This film made opera more relatable to me and has introduced me to me favorite aria. "Ah Mes Amis" from Donzetti's La Fille Regiment. Now, this probably means nothing of value to you...but it makes me happy.
Plus, this film has introduced me to Alek Shrader...not only is he an AMAZING opera tenor, but he's rather pretty. No big deal or anything.
